Why do i get duplicate chapters in IDVD when i drag in my Qt movie file

Question

Hi, can someone please help!!!!
I completed a project in FCP 7 and added chapter markers then exported the project to Quick Time Movie and included chapter markers and made the movie sel contained as I need to transfer it to other computers at a later date, I have done this many times before without any issues.  On dragging the movie file into IDVD and checking things were ok I hit the burn DVD button.  IDVD went through the whole process upto multiplexing then came up with an error message.  On checking this out on the internet it appeared that i had placed some of the chapter markers on some of the transition points and advice from several forums suggested this would cause the problem and the fix was to go back into the original FCP project timeline and delete all the chapter markers and reset them further in on each clip which i did.  I then exported the project again to a QT movie file and dragged into IDVD and on checking the various assests under the Scenes section it showed the first chapter had been duplicated! I now had two chapters called 'The Beginning' .  Using the inspector tab i cut one of the chapters and hit the burn button and again despite going through the whole process it came up with a Multiplexing error!!!
Apologies for such a long question but not sure how else to explain.  Any advice would be welcome.

Answer 1

The exclamation mark is telling you that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file. Assuming you're using iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
